Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7)(i)(A): Authorized employee(s) did not receive training in the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation: a. The employer is exposing employees to crushing hazards in that employees whose duties require them to clean out the inside of the Herschal Knockout Machines designated as #2615 and #2616 are not trained as authorized. During cleaning, employees place parts of their body inside the machine to clean the area behind the front of the machine and are only trained as affected employees. This was most recently documented on March 30, 2021 at the General Aluminum Mfg. Company facility located in Rootstown Township, Ohio. This lack of training exposes the employees to the unexpected energization of moving parts inside the machines.
